Radical Surrender: Letters to Seminarians

We live in a culture of distraction, making it very difficult to hear God's voice and respond with courage. Fr. Michael Najim's book, Radical Surrender: Letters to Seminarians, will assist vocation directors and seminary formators in helping seminarians recognize the true voice of God and rightfully discern their vocation. Seminary formation must be interiorly appropriated; in other words, formation will be fruitful only if the seminarian allows Christ to transform his heart. Radical Surrender: Letters to Seminarians is a unique resource for all interested in the spiritual and human formation of the next generation of priests. Every vocation director will want to give Radical Surrender to the men under his care, and every seminarian will want to have a copy with him while praying in chapel or in the quiet of his room. Radical Surrender will also be of great assistance to the seminarian's experience of ongoing spiritual direction.

Fr. Michael Najim is the Vocation Director for the Diocese of Providence and a formator at the Seminary of Our Lady of Providence. He received a bachelor's degree in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville and a master of divinity from Saint John's Seminary in Brighton, MA. He was ordained a priest in 2001.
